A climber on the Pembrokeshire coast had a lucky escape on Sunday after being rescued thanks to help from local lifeboat and coastguard teams.

Tenby RNLI’s lifeboat the Haydn Miller was launched at 4.15pm on November 10 after the Coastguard received a call from a member of the public, stating that a climber had been injured at St Govans.

The volunteer crew made best speed to the area and arrived on scene shortly after Coastguard rescue helicopter 187, with the winchman already with the casualty. A Wales Air Ambulance was also at the top of the cliff.

Also on scene, were members of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and teams from Tenby, St Govans and Dale Coastguard.

The lifeboat was tasked to stand by as safety cover, whilst the casualty was airlifted and dropped off with medics from the Air Ambulance for assessment. The helicopter then retrieved the casualty's fellow climbers, who had been left at the bottom of the cliff, before dropping them at the top.

Once this was complete and with the casualty now in the air on his way to hospital after being assessed on the ground, the lifeboat was stood down.
